The Parkview Alliance Church was alight with joy and holiday spirit on November 14 as it hosted its 4th annual Ladies Banquet. The event, a beloved tradition for many, marked the beginning of the Christmas season with an unforgettable evening of fellowship, inspiration, and festive elegance.
Ninety-five women from Vermilion and the surrounding communities gathered to enjoy an evening out. The church’s nave, transformed into a winter wonderland, was adorned with shimmering candles, Christmas trees, and exquisitely decorated tables. The stunning holiday atmosphere was designed by Denise Rogan of Glamour and Glitz, setting the perfect scene for the occasion.
The banquet featured a sumptuous roast beef dinner with all the trimmings, including homemade buns that added a comforting touch. The meal was prepared by Something Sweet, a culinary gem from Mannville, delighting every guest with its homestyle flavours.
“The Heart of Christmas,” resonated deeply with guest speaker Marion Dicke as she shared poignant stories and cherished memories from her time as an international missions worker. Her reflections brought a heartfelt perspective to the true essence of the season, leaving a lasting impression on all who attended.
Adding to the festive ambiance, beautiful music filled the room as three talented college students, Levi Pankonin on violin, McKenzie Pluim on piano, and Haley Tovel, led the gathering in a spirited round of Christmas carols. Their harmonious melodies elevated the evening, bringing warmth and unity to the group.
Looking ahead, Parkview Alliance Church invites the community to its next event, An Evening with Tim Lovelace, on December 12 at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m. for what promises to be an evening of laughter and inspiration.
